In yesterday’s New York Times, we learn of a new development at 1610 Dekalb Avenue at Wyckoff Avenue in Bushwick that some are pointing to as a symbolic turning point for the once-beleaguered neighborhood:

It looks a bit like a boxy Hamptons beach house propped atop a concrete factory, but to its architect, Adam Kushner, the five-story apartment building under construction in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn is designed to symbolize the rebirth of an inner-city Brooklyn neighborhood in the midst of a real estate revival.

The developers, the American Development Group, still haven’t decided whether the 23-loft syle apartments will be turned into condos or rentals when they are completed towards the end of the summer. In the spirit of open-mindedness, we are going to reserve judgement until we can see photos of the actual project. Can anyone in the area snap one for us?
